Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 425ºF (220ºC). Position your rack in the center for even baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs vigorously until frothy. Add in pumpkin puree, sugar, salt, and spices, blending until smooth.
  3. Gradually mix in evaporated milk until fully combined, achieving a silky appearance.
  4. Place the unbaked pie shell on a baking sheet, pour in the pumpkin mixture up to the crust’s edge.
  5. Transfer the baking sheet into the oven. Bake at 425ºF for 15 minutes, then reduce to 350ºF (175ºC) and bake for an additional 40 to 50 minutes.
  6. Check for doneness with a knife; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  7. Allow the pie to cool on a wire rack for at least two hours before slicing.
